Cyborg Lady

Cyborg — design Marcel Wanders, 2014
In 1960 the scientist, inventor and musician
Manfred Clynes coined the term cyborg,
which then grew ever more popular thanks
to innumerable sci-fi novels and films; it
designates an organism that combines
natural and artificial elements. Designer
Marcel Wanders interprets this fusion as
the expression of a continuous search for
new combinations, in today’s world, where
it seems there is nothing truly new left to
invent. This is the background to the creation
of Cyborg, a seat with a highly resistant
and versatile polycarbonate shell. The seat
can then be completed with backrests in a
selection of different natural or synthetic
materials: from polycarbonate to wicker,
from solid wood to plywood, to the most
recent upholstered versions with fabric
or leather cover. This further evolution
of the chair is in equal parts poetic and
technological, cosy and surprising, in keeping
with the widest range of different settings.

Designer
Marcel Wanders
Regarded by many as an anomaly in the
design world, Marcel has made it his mission
to “create an environment of love, live with
passion and make our most exciting dreams
come true”. His work excites, provokes, and
polarises, but never fails to surprise due to its
ingenuity, daring and singular quest to uplift
the human spirit, and entertain.
In his designs, Marcel often mixes innovative
materials and techniques with references to
well known historical styles and archetypes,
so users can easily connect to the pieces,
enjoying them for a long time and in doing so
create sustainable surroundings.
Marcel’s chief concern is to bring the human
touch back to design, ushering in what he
calls design’s ‘new age;’ in which designer,
craftsperson and user are reunited.
